“…), using a six-point scale (1 = Strongly Disagree; 6 = Strongly Agree). The questionnaire was validated in Brazil by Moreira et al (2019). In our study, the reliabilities (McDonald's omega, ω; Cronbach's alpha, α) of the individual moral foundations ranged from 0.63 (fairness) to 0.74 (sanctity) for McDonald's omega, and from 0.63 (fairness) to 0.73 (sanctity) for Cronbach's alpha.…”

To increase Covid-19 vaccine uptake and protect vulnerable people, many countries have introduced a Covid-19 passport, allowing vaccinated individuals to access indoor facilities more freely and travel to foreign countries. However, the passport has unintended consequences in discriminating against those who do not want to get vaccinated for medical, religious, or political reasons or do not have access to vaccines. The present study (N=678) assessed across the USA, Brazil, the UK, and a group of other countries, the links between political orientation, human values, and moral foundations and attitudes towards the Covid-19 passport and whether people perceive it as a discriminative measure. Results showed that left-wingers, who are typically more inclined to recognize discrimination, are more in favor of the passport and perceive it to be less discriminatory than right-wingers. This pattern remains consistent even after controlling for human values and moral foundations, which independently predict attitudes towards the passport.

“…The development and validity tests of MFQ are extensively described in a key study by Graham et al (2011), in which the five moral foundations structure is proposed as a reliable, valid, and easy-to-use measurement tool for exploring the moral domain (p. 382) To advance future validation studies in other populations, MFQ has been translated into a wide range of languages (available at MoralFoundations.org) and utilized to test MFT's fivefoundational propositions in other cultures and countries. Support for a five-factor structure is found in three Chinese ethnic groups (Du, 2019), Brasil (Moreira, de Souza & Guerra, 2019), New Zealand (Davies, Sibley & Liu, 2014), Sweden (Nilsson & Erlandsson, 2015); Turkey (Yalçindag et al, 2019;Yilmaz et al, 2016), although it is acknowledged that five-factor models provide poor fit to the data (Davis, Rice, Van Tongeren et al, 2016;Zakharin & Bates, 2021). In addition, there is some evidence that the five-factor model proposed by MFT is not generalizable and, as a result, may not be meaningfully compared across populations.…”

Moral Foundations Questionnaire and Moral Foundations Sacredness Scale: Assessing the Factorial Structure of the Dutch Translations

The Moral Foundations Questionnaire (MFQ) and the Moral Foundations Sacredness Scale (MFSS) have been proposed to advance conceptualizations of morality. This study assesses the factor structure of the Dutch translations of the short version of the MFQ (20 items) and the full MFSS. The five-factor model posited by Moral Foundations Theory (MFT) is compared against alternative models of morality. Correlational analyses are performed between the best-fitting models. A multi-group confirmatory factor analysis of the optimal model is tested across gender. Data are taken from an online survey of a student sample (N = 1496). Results suggest that the Dutch translation of the MFQ20 does not converge on the proposed five-factor model. Conversely, MFSS subscales show good model fit, but intercorrelations among the five subscales are high. Weak invariance is retained for MFSS but not for MFQ20. Overall, the present study shows that the Dutch version of the MFSS scale performs better than the MFQ20 in terms of scale reliability, fit indices, and measurement invariance testing. More methodological inquiries on MFSS are welcomed, whereas the use of the MFQ20 should be discouraged. Instead, researchers on moral foundations are encouraged to empirically test the psychometric properties of the recently revised MFQ-2, developed by the authors of MFT as a more accurate instrument for the conceptualization of morality.

“…The MFQ has also been translated to multiple languages and shows a high degree of validity in cross-cultural assessments, including Brazil (Moreira, Souza, & Guerra, 2019), China (Du, 2019), and Muslim populations in Turkey (Yilmaz, Harma, Bahçekapili, & Cesur, 2016).…”
